Cocoa, North side of Michigan Avenue. Easy shuttle to cruise ports, beaches and space sites. Won't interfere with fast running between Cocoa and Orlando.

IIRC the Southern is "Excepted" meaning <10 mph. Unless they upgrade the Southern to the same class of the work from Freehold to Farmingdale, it probably remains as so. There are parts of the SouS I wouldn't drive at 5 much less 25. (For instance the stretch between Squankum and County Lin...

I saw on a FB group that Extech received a car on Friday. Would it be likely to get pulled out next time RB-1 runs which I assume would be Tuesday? Also where and when is RB-1 starting from these days? I’d like to catch them pulling the car from Extech but I have no experience at all with this oper...

Must be a big train if they had 2 engines… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk IIRC NJT used to always require Conrail to run two in case of failure on the Coast Line. This was especially true when there were repairs going on to one track or the other. One bad Conrail loco could stop a lot of commut...

The electrical transfer station will remain but the wind turbines are gonna be manufactured in Paulsboro then sent to the site by barge. The final turbine parts are going to be assembled in Paulsboro to be shipped by barge. The actual manufacture is done in China, Germany and Denmark. Most of the l...

#1620681 by JohnFromJersey Sat Apr 22, 2023 2:30 am I am wondering if Stavola and the company across from it will receive rail service at some point after this project... L&L Paving. I heard they looked into it about 3 years ago before C&D. I have no definative knowledge, just heresay.

Never had any issues there. Park away from houses and use a camera instead of a cell phone.

For those interested, I have made a map of all the grade crossings of the active portions of the Southern Secondary crosses, as well as listed some bridges (I-195, Rt 33/34, Rt 18, the Parkway, Tinton Ave) where you would be able to see RB-1 from above. Special thanks to @Bracdude181 for telling me...

The TRIT is of no consideration as there is the possibility of maybe 1 tank of propane a week. The cost to upgrade the crossings to Builders (especialy Rte-37) would be prohibitive.
Also opening to Lakehurst gives a much longer run-around than Cross Street and connection to CMSL.

Obviously C&D would like to open Jamesburg to Lakewood as a first priority to eliminate the Essay - Bank run to make some money. But the potential sand runs could bring many more hauls.

I thought that reopening to Lakehurst was part of the grant deal?
